The Story of the National Fire 
Protection Association. 


^HE AMERICAN yearly fire waste is estimated at 15,000 lives 
and $500,000,000. This does not include the huge cost of fire 
departments. That is an additional burden. 

Whatever is wasted in the home makes the struggle of the family 
harder. Whatever is wasted in a nation makes it harder for its 
people to live. Insurance companies collect fire losses and distribute 
them. The greater the fire loss the more they must collect. If they 
collected less than they have to pay out they would soon be bank¬ 
rupt; capital devoted to fire insurance would be wiped out. The 
greater the fire loss the more the people are assessed to pay for it, 
and the less they have to spend for other things. 

The National Fire Protection Association has two functions: 
One is to make the standards under guidance of which the fire waste 
may be checked; the other is to educate the people in the observance 
of those standards and point out the grievous economic penalties for 
ignoring them. 

Technical Activities 

The character of these standards is shown by the list of publica¬ 
tions printed herein. The standards are made by the representa¬ 
tives of the Members given on page 2. These representatives are 
expert fire prevention engineers and serve the Association without 
pay. There is no public effort in the history of the nation to 
which there has been so freely given over so long a period so much 
of expert thought and painstaking technical investigation as to the 
National Fire Protection Association. 

The Association meets annually in a three days’ convention at 
which the reports on the various standards are presented by its 
committees of experts and discussed by the convention before adop¬ 
tion. The progress of the nation in science, invention and the 
industrial arts makes constant revision of these standards impera- 


3 



tive. The Association was organized in 1895, and hence for twenty- 
seven years has been compiling and revising these standards, which 
are now the recognized national guide and authority. They are 
officially adopted by the National Board of Fire Underwriters and all 
other organizations interested in fire protection or prevention. 

This work of compiling and revising standards covering explo¬ 
sives, gases, oils, electric wiring and all fire appliances must continue 
indefinitely. It is a work for experts and demands the services of 
those members having technical education. The proceedings of the 
annual convention are stenographically reported and issued in 
printed form so that all members may study the reports and the dis¬ 
cussions thereon at their leisure. 

Public Education 

In the great work of public education, however, all members 
may and do share. The colossal fire waste is impoverishing the 
people. They do not realize it. They must, therefore, be taught, 
in the press, in the schools, and by public speaking; first, that the 
fire waste adds tremendously to the cost of living, and second, how 
to stop it. 

The Association’s literature is prepared with the object of edu¬ 
cating the layman in fire prevention. Although based upon expert 
knowledge, it is put into popular form so that anyone is enabled to 
educate himself to protect his own premises and give advice to his 
neighbor. 

Publications 

The Quarterly Magazine of the Association is unique in its 
special articles on fire hazards, fire protection and prevention, and 
the economic effects of the fire waste. Its editorial matter is clearly 
and forcefully written, and its carefully edited department of fire 
records is indispensable to those who are studying fire causes and 
effects in specific properties. In the Quarterly are described the 
important fires occurring in the United States and Canada, with 
special reference to their origin, their extent, and the manner of their 
extinguishment. By a special method of cataloguing, statistical 
records are so kept as to permit the publication of fire statistics on 
special classes of property or occupancy, showing how the majority 
of such fires start and how in the cases given they were extinguished. 

Special studies are made of the effect of fire on concrete and 
other buildings of fire-resisting construction. Special posters and 


4 


unique bulletins are issued at appropriate times throughout the year; 
a valuable monthly News Letter and during each year many in¬ 
dividual papers and reports on specific topics are sent to members, 
besides copies of all the Association’s standards as soon as they are 
completed and published. The office correspondence of the Associa¬ 
tion is voluminous, as any information in its files accumulated during 
the twenty-seven years of its life is gladly furnished its members on 
application. 

The office of the Association is the source of, or clearing house 
for, all that is authoritative on the subjects of the fire waste, fire 
protection and fire prevention. 

Membership 

The Association’s membership is composed of architects, builders, 
merchants, manufacturers, warehousemen, engineers, fire marshals, 
fire wardens, fire chiefs, electricians, credit men, bankers, insurance 
agents and inspectors, Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce, 
Public Libraries and many other organizations, individuals, firms 
and corporations. 

No admission fee is charged for membership. The Quarterly 
Magazine, the published standards, all special bulletins and other 
valuable engineering and popular literature issued during the year 
are supplied to associate members for Ten dollars ($10) annual dues. 
There is no other expense. The membership year begins with the 
date of the member’s election. Any individual, firm, corporation, or 
society is eligible to membership. 

The office of the National Fire Protection Association is at 
87 Milk Street, Boston, Massachusetts, and the Secretary will 
promptly send sample publications to anyone wishing to know of 
the work of the Association or who may desire to co-operate as a 
member in reducing the deplorable American ash heap.
